KALE OF NEW STAMPS ENDS.
Began and Cloned With the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 1. The
postofflce department has ordered
that the sale of the special issue of
Louisiana Purchase expositions stamps
shall be discontinued throughout the
country today. In accordance with the
original plan.
Beginning with the Chicago World's
tfalr In 1893 the government has Issaed
four sets of these - commemorative
stamps In compliance with the re
quests of the managers of the exposi
tions held at Omaha, Buffalo and St.
Louis. It Is probable, however, that
the custom has now come to an end.
The elaborate designs of the special
Issues necessitates a stamp of twice
the ordinary size and this has given
rise to a general complaint from busi
ness men throughout the country who
find that the large stamps entail con
siderable extra trouble to their use.
Postmasters also complain of the
large size of the sheets they are oblig
ed to handle. For them Teasons It Is
likely that the expositions of the fut
ure will meet with a rebuff when they
ask for special Issues of stamps to ad
vertise their shows.

no new developments In the Weber !

Chinese merchant some five years

bear out the assertion.

Claimed There Is Not Uniformity In
Hates on Flour.
The attention, of the Democrat was
called to an apparent discrepancy In
the rates on flour to Baker City from
Union and La Grande as compared
with the rate from Pendleton and
Waitsburg. It Is claimed by a shipper
and miller that there had been a 10V4
cent rate In force from Union which
had been raised to 18 cents while the
rate from Pendleton to Baker City Is
only 1 2 V4 cents and from Waitsburg
15 cents.
Investigation made shows that there
was from Union to Baker City a 10
cent rate . on flour under a special
commodity tariff which was cancelled
last October, restoring the straight
distance tariff which makes the rate
from Pendleton about 40 cents.
In order to supply the demand for
flour In Baker City a special rate of
12 Si cents was made from Pendleton
and IB centa from Waitsburg and in
termediate polnu, Pendleton to Baker
City, of necessity were given the same
rate, 12tt centa.
. From this It would seem that Union
nor no other point this aide of Pen
dleton, has been done an Injustice
and at the same time Baker City has
been supplied with flour that local
mine could not supply at about 35
centa per sack less than If the Pen
dleton special had not been made. It
Is the policy of a railroad company
to build up and not to tear down a
community. If communities are not
prosperous the railroads go to plecea
If the cost of living In any one com
munity Is excessive, that community
cannot compete with other communi
ties In other matter
Baker City's consumption of flour
is much larger than the capacity of
the local mills In this .community to
supply and if It was not for the Pen
dleton special rate the people here
would be paying today a much higher
price for flour than is now prevailing.
The solution of the problem Is simple
when it is understood. Baker City
